A refined text serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline connections that create a sharp, glossy rhythm on the page. Serifs are crisp and mostly bracketed, with tapered terminals and pointed joins that emphasize vertical stress and a sculpted, calligraphic finish. Proportions lean slightly wide with generous capitals, while the lowercase keeps a balanced, bookish x-height and clear counters. Curves are smooth and controlled, and diagonal strokes (V/W/Y, k, v, w) end in clean, blade-like terminals that reinforce the high-contrast texture.
Well suited to magazine and newspaper-style headlines, book covers, and premium branding where sharp contrast can signal luxury and authority. It also works for pull quotes, invitations, and posters, particularly when set at display sizes that allow the fine strokes and terminals to remain clear.
The overall tone is elegant and editorial, with a distinctly dressy, high-end feel. Its contrast and fine details convey sophistication and ceremony, making the voice feel confident, traditional, and a bit theatrical in display settings.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modernized classical serif voice with strong vertical emphasis and polished detail. It prioritizes elegant contrast, crisp finishing, and a stately rhythm for editorial and brand-forward typography.
At larger sizes the hairlines and tight joins become a defining feature, producing a sparkling texture and strong figure–ground contrast. Numerals and capitals read as assertive and refined, while the lowercase maintains a composed, literary cadence suitable for short-form reading when set with comfortable size and spacing.
